Watch The Writing Process Of A Metallica Song (Video)

Metallica’s new double album Hardwired…To Self Destruct is due to come out next month. As you can probably imagine anticipation is high, and the band is on the hype train in a big way. Luckily for us, that hype train gives us a pretty cool inside view into how some of the new album was crafted.

I’ve been in on many writing and arranging sessions with bands, and to tell you the truth they’re not all that different from what the biggest hard rock band of all time is doing (minus the huge space, unlimited equipment and personal masseuse).
